I've been trying to find a functional root method for this phone which has been out since October, no luck. Tried all the methods for the Ascend II (m865) hoping that it would be close enough... Alas, it wasn't. Any ideas out there?

I've got the same model of phone tonight. I have an m865c as well and have roted. However need to refresh . In the process of that. Now am rooting this Device. Need some help if anyone has any leads I would appreciate it immensely

gotta reflash this phoen because im stuck at the green spinning circle after the OS loads. what i did was install the huawei m865 recovery from CWM after that i was installing apps , ran out of internal space, and now im stuck at the green spinning circle =( help!

Yo I got the same phone good to see someone is trying to root is as we'll. I've been all over and trying to find a working root method. I haven't got my discs with me .to access some shell platform to test some stuff maybe implement some of my own cmmad
WHen I get back to stl I'll get on It

OK now that i have seen this before on the phone downloading an app or playing a game this is getting funny now!

the only thing i can think of to do next is find a verified copy of a update.zip the huawei h866c will except.
I also noticed that with the sim card out it shows a cdrom drive and 2 usb drives which tells me there are multiple partitions on this phone. well there might be a partition hiding somewhere that we can't see. I also downloaded a very good root explorer app and /local is not showing as well as items in /dev?
so anyone want to share some knowledge maybe i can piece this together.
I'm have a little knowledge on MD5 but not alot about creating a verified update.zip..

the huawei mercury root will probably be the one they both have pink screens. i have it almost rooted except for the part where is requires a linux distro with nautilus. then its supposed to be done im sure itll be very easy from where i am just having trouble installing a machine ..
